I found out about this bugreport _after_ installing Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit
on my Samsung Ultrabook Series 5 530U3C-A09NL.
I installed Ubuntu via usb (created via unetbootin on another 12.10
machine), with secureboot off but UEFI on (exclusively UEFI).
Immediately after installation, I transferred an apt-clone file from my
old machine to my Samsung and installed all {packages,sources,debs}. I
also updated apt further, and it told me to autoremove packages like
grub-efi-amd64-bin, efibootmgr and so on. I am now on kernel 3.5.0-25,
and it seems OK.
There's also Windows 8 in the grub boot menu, but after reading these
reports I am a bit reluctant to boot it. Ubuntu boots fine, though.
There's no sign of any samsung-laptop module in /etc/modprobe.d, nor in
lsmod. I tried to change UEFI to CMS in bios, but that leaves me
basically without any bootable OS. My question is, why is my machine not
bricked? It is bound to happen after some powercycles, should I
reinstall everything to be sure or is this issue fixed?
